Twenty-five years in the past at present, the New York Yankees beat the New York Mets in Sport 5 of the 2000 World Sequence. It stays, to at the present time, the one championship assembly between the 2 groups.
The ultimate out, Mike Piazza’s deep fly to middle, landed in Bernie Williams’ glove only a minute after midnight. It was the end result of an epic week — every week, as Michael Kay remembers it, when “New York baseball was the middle of the universe.”
That is the story of the town, the stakes, the noise, as remembered by those that performed it, known as it, lived it. God bless October baseball.
’TIS THE SEASON
Andy Pettitte (Yankees beginning pitcher): “We had been World Champs, however this one was totally different.”
